Grandpa says Rebuild!

back to the fire since it seems to be the biggest news in Hawaii right now.  of course we were all shocked, but if my Grandpa was alive, he would say “just be happy that nobody got hurt.  we can always rebuild.”  and Grandpa’s always right…

these haunting images reminds me of what i saw right after the tsunami/earthquake in Japan.  i saw so many Japanese families lose everything just like this.  that was sad to see, but when they started to rebuild, that was an amazing process to experience.  so yes, things are only going to get better.    

Tony didn’t just lose his precious memories, he lost all his surfboards and dirt bikes too.  i’m still amazed on how good my sister and Tony handled their emotions.  it’s all about faith!  

the living room was like charcoal.  nothing survived in that room except for my sisters bible.  it was in perfect condition.  that was a chicken skin moment.

i heard from my brother that somebody posted a negative comment about what happened.  my brother was so pissed off when he told me.  i was just laughing because that’s how social media is.  i told him to calm down.  if you get angry at comments, you shouldn’t read comments.  we can’t control the haters, the jealous people, and the unhappy people in this world.  it’s not worth going down to their level.  so just ignore and continue to live a happy life because what we do is more important than what other people do…

The Search for Clear Water

from all this rain, the whole island is still super dirty.  so this morning, i went looking for a patch of clear water with nobody out.  i passed by Bowls and it was not only brown, it was stinky.  

gosh, it was a beautiful morning!  

then i found a nice wave with probably the cleanest water on the island.  so i threw in the anchor and foiled for 2 hours.  it was paradise!  

i passed by the Hilton Hawaiian Village Lagoon Tower and it was good to see more and more lights on.  there has been a lot of tourists coming back to Hawaii and if you saw Waikiki these past days, you would think the pandemic is over.  i just wished the tourists would respect Hawaii and our people by wearing their masks.   i see so many of them not wearing masks and i feel like running them over and telling them to go back home.  absolutely no respect…
